BBQ Chicken Spaghetti Squash

Grab that lone spaghetti squash sitting on your counter and break out the barbecue sauce! These BBQ Chicken Spaghetti Squash make low-carb eating fun and delicious!

Man this one was satisfying!

The idea first popped into my head a few months ago and I haven’t been able to shake my desire to try a barbecue spiked spaghetti squash ever since.

I’m super happy to report that I finally made my recipe daydream a reality and it was AWESOME!

I had mine straight out of the squash boat (as per usual!) and I served Paul’s baked casserole style with extra cheese and veggies and a dollop of sour cream on top of the BBQ drizzle. I may or may not have stolen some of his as well. Thumbs up all around, yo!

The smoky sweet sauce was delightful with the spaghetti squash and I’m already dreaming up what other veggies I can stuff into the mix next round. Mushrooms? Pineapple? Sweet Potato? Cauliflower? Tomatoes? Jalapeños?!

Let me at it!

Whether you rescue leftover or rotisserie chicken for this recipe, or cook it up with these sassy stuffed squash in mind, your plate is sure to be rocked!

As written, this recipe makes enough for two large meals (1 squash boat each) or 4 tasty sides. Round out your plate with a healthy salad, fresh veggies and dip, or homemade coleslaw. Sweet potato fries would also be an awesome addition!
